POP PAUL (3) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1207m at Churchill Downs, beaten 4.5 lengths into fourth. Ideally placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. SHIP SERVE (2) was in a different class last time with a dominant all-the-way win by 7 lengths at this track (Dirt) over 1006m. Expected to take some stopping again. THE EXODUS TWIST (4) pushed forward last time and boxed on to finish second over 905m at Charles Town (Dirt). Has been in sound form this prep with a win and four minor placings from 10 outings. Looks one of the prime contenders. TAZZY (5) improved sharply last time out to score by 6 lengths over 1207m at this track (Dirt) two-and-a-half weeks ago. Finds a suitable race and can figure in the finish.
